DeAndre Rogers Found Hanging in a Carport in Grand Junction, Colorado

DeAndre Rogers was found hanging in a carport in Grand Junction, Colorado on September 21, 2020.

DeAndre was an active protester, and did not shy from speaking the truth in the face of anyone. There is a video of him protesting at the Grand Junction Police department a few months before his death in which he described the inhumane treatment they received in the area.

The circumstances of his death and the investigation are questionable to say the least, Rodgers death was ruled a suicide according to the GoFundMe account.

“Before the investigation was even complete, the police and coroner ruled it a suicide, even though there are several avenues that have not been pursued with the Investigation.”

The death of Rogers, who was fondly remembered in part as an “active protester,” came at a time when there has been a string of suspected lynchings of Black men in recent months. They have been at least five black people who have all died by hanging since June and according to all police departments involved they all have been ruled a suicide.
